Four of us for lunch 1 vegetarian who ordered the soup which was supposed to be vegetarian when it arrived our friend noticed pieces of ham in it! It was replaced with a bowl without ham with apologies thank goodness it wasn’t an allergy problem.

Went yesterday for a roast dinner after a very busy weekend, so we were looking forward to it! We were not disappointed at all. Both meals (turkey and a trio of meats) were absolutely excellent, with perfectly cooked veg. The pub was busy with a good atmosphere, and the food was brought out quickly. All the staff were extremely polite and attentive. We will be back, and highly recommend The Stags Head.

We reserved a table for 5pm ,arrived 450 at table straight away and they took drinks order, ordered food around 5.05. Meals didn't come till 5.55pm We had the veggy nut roast. Was Luke warm and to me small potions, the Yorkshire pudding almost covered the meal ( the meal was small!) The nut roast was poor, veg ok nowt special. At £16.95 for the main it wasnt worth it at all . We had sticky toffee pudding with custard which was very nice and pipping hot. Wouldn't rush back ! Place was busy and has child outdoor play area, dog friendly and large car park

Quietish lunchtime service but suited us fine. Loads of parking space. The two ladies on service were great. Main menu food prices probably £2/£3 more than we normally pay but got to say we both had the fish n chips and it was fabulous . Would definitely visit again. 👍

A great place for a family 40th Birthday celebration today. A big thank you to the very attentive staff & compliments to the chef for a great tasting variety of meals. Happy to drive there from Blackpool to eat there again & happy to recommend to others. Meal, drinks & tip came in at about £18.00 each feeding 9 in total.

On entering the premises we were welcomed by a young lady who showed us to our table . We gave our drinks order straight away and within two minutes we were asked if we were ready to order our food when we hadnt even looked at the menu yet. There wasn't much choice on the menu or for anyone with dietary requirements. All dishes we ordered were extremely salty, over cooked chicken, very dry penang curry with undercooked roti , chips were rock hard . There were items on the menu that they don't sell , which should have been removed from the menu. Extremely overpriced and we were very disappointed with our experience and won't be returning .

Service was good staff could not have been nicer.. but I travelled from Stoke on Trent. To take my mother out for her birthday I looked around for a nice pub in Preston and this place looked good.We was only a party of 3 and food took 40mins to come out.Two had the Cumberland ring with creamy mash potatoes veg and onion. Gravy.. the sausage was nice mash was not definitely not creamy was definitely powdered mash and gravy was not onion I had the steak pie with chunks chips. The chips I didn’t eat as was rock hard.. pie has plenty of meat but had a funny taste so did not eat it overall not great I did think it was reasonably priced when see the menu but was a massive disappointment and payed £62 for lumpy gravy and powders mash even cheaper places use potatoes .

Loved this place and had previously given it 5 stars but they are now out pricing themselves. I know about “inflation” but a stir fry egg noodle “special” is not £18.95 served with a prawn cracker. Support your locals and your locals will support you. Our family used to dine once a week, now can’t justify the spend. Can get a Chinese with 2 mains and sides for £22 so £18.95 for a stir fry is just madness.

Awful experience. My kids need gluten free food, I called in advance to check their procedures and what they offer. We arrive for dinner and before we sit down I double checked again about their gluten free food and were reassured about it. We ordered and waited for over half an hour with two children who were starving by this point. We asked someone where the food was and were told it was coming. Then someone else comes over to say they actually can’t do any gluten free food as they’ve contaminated the gluten free fryer because they were busy and decided just to use it for other food. Total disregard for their customers with serious allergies and auto immune diseases. Would never return or trust them with keeping any food safe.

Nice warm comfortable pub on a miserable Friday lunch. Greeted on arrival and shown to table. Quite a good menu with different choices. The two were one chicken and bacon sandwich with small side salad and salt and vinegar fries. Wife want keen on the chilliest on the fries. Mine was thesteak and onion bagette. With salad and chips. Both meals were excellent. I had one of the best pints of cask beer you could have. Very good staff. Value for money.

Stumbling upon The Stags Head in the hit-or-miss world of English gastro pubs, this spot lands just on the side of a hit. Its ambiance shines with inventive decor, like scaffolding turned shelving, and the staff's warmth is undeniable. Yet, it falters where it matters: the food. The menu promises classic pub grub—gammon, burgers, fish and chips—all executed with a competence that's unfortunately overshadowed by an overindulgence in the fryer. The fish drowned under too much batter, and the frozen, oily halloumi was a letdown. The gammon, however, stood out for its quality. I'll venture back, steering clear of the deep-fried and the frozen, hopeful for a warmer toilet experience.

Overall the food was excellent, however my wife's burger was under cooked as it was still red in the middle. This was brought to the attention of the waitress and she would let the kitchen know, however we didn't get any feedback from her regarding the none consumed burger, I felt that this was a legitimate complaint that was not dealt with in the first instance. Happy after asking for the duty manager this was rectified and taken off the bill. The issue is inexperienced staff should have brought this matter to the attention of the manager in the first place sending undercooked food is a big issue. I would gladly have given a 5 🌟 on all aspects. Further staff training required when dealing with a food complaint.

Hubby had chicken ciabbatta,salad ,chips off the dinnertime specials, £8.95, which reasonably priced, I asked for a salad, I've had these before and they've been huge, fresh and allsorts in it,this one wasn't the usual,,bit of lettuce, 1 cherry tomato,bit of pepper and cucumber, it was also £8.95. We were with family, and I didn't want to cause a fuss, so I didn't say anything, if we were on our own I would have, totally put me off going again.

The Stags Head is bursting with character. The quintessential British pub serves all the standards and it's their own spin on some cross-border dishes as well. Everyone at my table of 10 raved about the food. This photo is the "small" fish and chips. Get it for roughly half the price of the full entree and save room, and budget, for a starter and dessert.

We had booked a table for 2 and were seated right in front of the ladies toilet door. A child came out of the toilets and my chair was so close to the door she struggled to get past me, so we asked to move. We moved to a nice window seat but the window had 9 live flies buzzing about on it, (yes I counted them). I swatted one and it joined the other dead ones on the windowsill. I raised the curtain valance to see where they were coming from and the window frame underneath was filthy! We complained but were told they had a problem with flies but couldn't get rid of them because people don't want fly spray around when eating. The food was very average, and our favourite cheese pie was no longer on the menu. Eating whilst flies are buzzing around you is disgusting, and we couldn't leave quick enough and didn't stay for dessert! Mains were approx £17 each so I was glad we had the Meerkat half price offer, as the food was definitely not worth the price! Never again!

What a shambles! Telephoned at 4pm on Friday to enquire about a table. I was informed that there were no tables for 7 people inside, and we weren't able to reserve a table outside either. Nonetheless, we headed down to luckily find space outside to seat us. We ordered starters, mains, and desserts. Starter's all came out at different times. Some of us had already finished ours before the rest were coming out. I'd specifically ordered a starter to come with my main, but this came out with the starters. I advised the waiter, who took took it back to the kitchen. Our mains were much the same, my starter that I'd ordered to come as a main with S&P chips arrived first. I enquired as to where my chips were, the waiter assured that they were coming. Everyone else received their mains, and my S&P chips came out last. I had specifically requested these to come together with the starter as a main course. There was prolonged waits between dishes coming out which was frustrating as we were no longer 'eating together'. For dessert, I'd requested cream with my crumble, but this arrived with custard. The waiter laughed and advised she'd get it sorted. Kid's chocolate brownie came out without icecream as advertised, so had to request for that too. My crumble resembled porridge, was really soggy on top, so left well over half. We had zero check backs on our food, plates from previous courses weren't removed before the next course was arriving, so the table was constantly congested. All the while we were there, which was 3 hours, there was plenty of tables free in the conservatory. When queried why we were told that there were no tables until 8pm, he defended stating they were tables for 2, 4, 6, people- not 7 which we needed. When I suggested they could have moved tables/chairs to accommodate, he further defended stating that they wouldn't do that and the table of 7 was occupied until 8pm. Still absolutely baffled at the response and lack of hospitality. If you walk into the Cafe Bar in town asking for a specific table to seat a certain number of guest's, they'd move mountains for you to ensure they could accommodate you! To top the evening, one of our children was injured by another adult who, in their intoxicated splendour, decided to join in their game of football. We'd probably return, but service really needs to improve.

What can we say, We’ve visited this afternoon after previously visiting around 18 months ago which we left slightly disappointed. Not This time ! We were seated promptly, given menus and drinks ordered. The staff were incredibly attentive, we ordered starters and mains. The Food was simply DIVINE. Starters were so tasty we could have had even more! The mains arrived with a nice break between, we all had Sunday beef roasts which were all beautifully plated and so delicious! Did we need dessert absolutely not did we order them YES we did! Thank you to all the staff you’ve won us back which will now probably be every weekend! The wine the ambiance and welcoming atmosphere was perfect for a family of 3. Can’t wait to return .
